With the Liberals’ 2025 election review recently leaked, what does the Greens’ version reveal about the lessons they’ve taken from the federal poll?

Whether defending at a by-election (Nightcliff 2026, Prahran 2025) or trying to consolidate a by-election win at the next regular election (Fremantle 2009, Northcote 2017), it’s not a happy track record for the Greens.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Labor now refusing to say whether Harold E Holt naval communication station in WA helped support US killer submarine - they keep running and hiding from the reality of AUKUS

You can tell how much Labor and the Coalition care about the poor Iranians by the way they hastily built a series of offshore concentration camps to imprison Iranian refugees *forever* when they tried to escape the regime.
They’re not above criticism if they’re pushing bad amendments (like this one).
This is Teal Brain in action. Yesterday Allegra Spender moved this amendment, which would have allowed people with millions of dollars in superannuation to avoid tax.
The Teals spend a lot of time looking after the 1%. Gotta look after your political donors I guess.
Labor has so many reasons to get Australia out of AUKUS.
Canada sees it’s a dud deal and doesn’t want to join any more.
There’s another illegal Trump & Netanyahu war in the Middle East that Australia should not be supporting.
Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.
"To be free, one must be feared" said Macron
This utterly pathological idea is why people are dying tonight in Iran. And in Palestine. And in Lebanon and Israel and the USA.
Fear can destroy freedom. It can never create it.

This feels like a helpful primer for understanding AI in general. It makes programmers more efficient on the front end because they can generate more code. But it makes them less efficient afterwards because it vastly increases the amount of time they spend tweaking and fixing bugs.
Okay Bluesky hivemind- got a q for a possible cartoon (not sure yet what I'll do for tomorrow):
What are the ways Albanese has been a disappointment as PM?
We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.
A permanent ban on fracking is back on the agenda in Tasmania with the Tasmanian Greens planning to introduce a bill to ban the harmful practice in the opening days of parliament.

Greens say no war with Iran as Albanese’s Labor issues support of Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal attacks
Wtf?
Of course he has, he's got no spine and is incapable of seeing where this is all headed. I genuinely fear for our future.
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
Massive congratulations to Hannah Spencer and our UK Green Party comrades on the Gorton and Denton win 💚
Every Green breakthrough strengthens our global movement. What you’ve achieved will inspire campaigns in towns and cities far beyond the UK — including here in Australia.

Woodside is looking for a new CEO, so we thought we'd lend them a hand 🙌
To understand the underlying support for Lib, Lab, Grn (i.e. without the confusion of Wilkie, Johnston, O'Byrne, George, etc) I wonder if it's worth looking at how the senate vote changes in each electorate with the redistribution?
Tasmania's draft redistribution is due out later this morning.
These new boundaries will cover both federal and state elections in the island state.
I've started a liveblog where I'll post analysis when I have something to say. #politas #auspol

Holy shit the AEC went for the nuclear option! #politas www.aec.gov.au/redistributi...
